20 acres and home with incredible views and several good building sites
located 7.8 miles going west from Interstate I-95 on Dufort Road, approximately 18 miles southwest of Sandpoint, Idaho.

The Land:

This Northern Idaho property for sale by the owner is beautifully forested with a lot of elevation change. Building sites above the current home command extraordinary views of the surrounding mountains and the Pend Oreille River, with a huge rock formation that could be incorporated into a building. There is flat land along the lower portion of the lot, following a road that splits and leads to property higher up, where a building pad has been cleared.
The Pend Oreille River is only 1,000 feet from the lower edge of this property, and many other lakes and streams excellent for fishing, swimming and boating are conveniently located nearby. Much wildlife can be viewed from the property as well - deer, elk, fox, grouse, other birds of all sorts and even an occasional bear.

The House:

Designed as a caretaker's home, this two-bedroom, one-bath home of approximately 1,050 square feet sits over a three-car garage and features a recently upgraded solar electric system. A generator is also available. The house is beautifully finished on the interior with lots of custom woodwork from trees found on the land and features vaulted tongue and groove cedar wood ceilings and beautiful cathedral windows with expansive views of fields and woods. A hand-laid natural flagstone floor graces the main entryway.
The house has a wood-stove and propane heater, as well as a propane stove in a fully furnished kitchen. It has an approved septic system, and a well has already been drilled (though it needs about $1,000 in parts to fully function) which gets about 360 gallons per day. A water collection/containment system of about 300 gallons is currently in place. The house is currently being rented, but the tenant can vacate with 30 days notice.

"Whenever I drive down Dufort Road in Sagle, near Sandpoint Idaho, towards my land there, I feel drawn into a land of mystery, not only because of the occasional eery fog there, but also because of names abounding in the area - like "Hoodoo Valley", "Jewel Lake" (only a mile away), and "Seneacquoteen" - this area used to be an Indian trading post, and Native Americans refer to this area as a land of healing waters, with its abundance of cool, clear lakes, rivers, streams, fish and wildlife. I thought it was so peaceful and beautiful here, I could hardly bear to leave, as if I'd gone back to a time and place where everything moved so much more slowly and calmly, almost impossible to find any more... The rock pictured here (at the top of this page) is where I was going to build my dream home..."
